Indeed, to echo David, Livingston is losing 3 out of 4 from its A team and likely will be weaker in some areas of strength from last year but will likely be stronger in others and definitely more balanced than this past year. The Livingston "B" team that, in May, placed 11th at NJ states (...

To let everyone know final playoff placements: 1st: Ridgewood d. High Tech A 410-305 3rd: Hunter A d. MAST A 425-195 5th: High Tech B d. St. Joseph's A 345-255 7th: Hunter B d.

Congratulations to Ridgewood HS on defeating a full High Tech A team to capture this year's Livingston March Madness tournament title. There were some enjoyable, competitive, well played games on all levels today, I think. Prelim stats are up here http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1953/ and p...

We found our mistake and we'll upload an updated score soon.

Guybo

Tournament is tomorrow and we had the usual few drops. We're contemplating changing our bracketing and will know by tomorrow morning in case we get any more drops or added teams.

Guybo

With 3 1/2 days left until the tournament we are stuck at 47 teams, as a team dropped last night. We hopefully can find a 48th team so the tournament can run more smoothly without any byes. If any team can field another team that would be great or, perhaps, we will be able to pool together some team...

Guybo

Palisades Park HS has dropped out and Jonathan Dayton HS's second team is tenuous so there remains ONE spot available for our tournament in 2 weeks. Please email me to let me know if you can/would like to take it.

Guybo

As of today, Jonathan Dayton HS has taken the final spot in the tournament and the tournament has reached its cap/max of 48 teams. Any additional teams that would like to compete may be placed on the wait list in case there are any drops. Hopefully, with a little more than 2 weeks before the tournam...

Guybo

Ed - You're more than welcome to do elections for the All-State teams at our tournament. Thanks so much, as always, for getting it all together and making this and NASAT happen for NJ schools. You do NJ Quiz Bowl proud! Also, since I've mentioned it, a reminder that Livingston's March Madness is 4 w...

Guybo

We are 1 month (or, since it's February, 4 weeks) from the tournament. Hopefully all of this snow will have melted by then but I'm skeptical! All schools who have registered please check that the above list of number of teams, buzzers and moderators is correct. There is plenty of leeway time to conf...

To let everyone know, our tournament has been give "Platinum" affiliation" by PACE, which means that the top 25% of teams will qualify for their national high school quizbowl championship, the PACE NSC, on the weekend of May 24-25th, 2014 at the Hyatt Regency Reston outside of Washing...

Hello everyone! Happy New Year! I am pleased to announce that Livingston HS, in Livingston, NJ, will be hosting its annual March Madness Quiz Bowl tournament on Saturday, March 15, 2014 . http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournaments/1953/ SET: We are going to be using NAQT set IS-132 (this was used at P...

Guybo

Some of my players expressed some concern that it was in between APs. What about the following weekend?

Guybo

So, I just woke up this morning with a desperate plea from one of my players to sign up for the Scarsdale tournament because it's almost filled up (mostly because there are only 24 teams permitted, I imagine). This is the second time that I had to race to register for a tournament literally right af...

Guybo

I have to believe that posting the tournament and essentially closing registration within 24 hours must be some sort of record. 36 teams- well done! Glad I logged in yesterday!

Guybo

Livingston will be there in some form. Put us down for 3 teams for now and a couple of buzzer sets.

Guybo

Livingston returns 2 (Chris and David) from its A team. They totaled 55 ppg together at HSNCT and improved a lot throughout the year. I have no clue how much they'll improve over the summer nor who will join them on next year's A team but our B team wasn't overly competitive this year, though with k...

Livingston HS will have its annual March Madness tournament on an NAQT IS regular set on March 15, 2014.

Congratulations to Ridgewood A for taking the Division 1 championship ins what was a very strong field and tough, competitive playoff for everyone. Ridgewood emerged form the Midwest bracket (see attachment above) to reach the final rounds and defeat Ranney (who emerged from the circle of death in a...

Hi everyone! Prelim stats are online at this link!

http://www.hsquizbowl.org/db/tournament ... s/prelims/

Attached are the playoff groups for the afternoon playoff rounds.

Guybo

We are almost ready for Saturday's competition. We had a last minute drop from a team and are now 1 team short of our target number (and current number) of 48 teams in our current groupings so if anyone wants to bring one team on Saturday (or add one team to their current number) please let me know ...

Guybo

With Ranney's registration and Ridgewood adding a second team the field for the tournament is now closed. Any new prospective entrants or additional teams to current schools may be placed on the wait list pending any drops. Posting on this forum does not necessarily constitute official communication...

Guybo

Hi everyone, Well, we're a little more than 2 weeks out from the tournament at this point and, as you can see from the updated field list of schools/teams above, we are currently at 41 teams. While our goal is to cap at 48 teams, we also want to have a good number for groupings so for the moment we ...

Guybo

Hi everyone, As you can all see from the updated list of teams (above) there are so far around 25 teams registered for the tournament. We have the capacity to host up to 48 teams so I encourage new teams to register! While our tournament is still 5 weeks away, there is a lot going on with other loca...

Here's a field update for the tournament. I'll edit this post as registration requests come in. Please let me know by email (as per above) when you want to register. Thank you!

(I was on leave last year and it wasn't held) We are going to be using NAQT set IS-122 We can host up to 48 teams. We'll have 5-6 round robin preliminary rounds ...

Guybo

Livingston HS in NJ will likely bring 3-4 teams with a couple of buzzer sets and 1 moderator... if needed. Good luck in the organization!

Guybo

Wow... It looks like the NJ/NY area treams did really well on Saturday at HSNCT. St Joe's and Kellenberg both went 7-3 and Seton Hall, BCA A, Great Neck South and we, Livingston A, went 6-4... even Ranney, BCA B and Liv B did well going 5-5 as a lot of really good teams didn't even make the playoffs...

They didn't do Playoff stats, unfortunately.

My hope is that all who participated had a good experience. THere are inevitable delays but all considered I think things we...

Guybo

So we are now down to 32 teams with 5 teams dropping out today. This will require us to reevaluate brackets. Perhaps we can do more prelim games... will discuss with my team over the next 36 hours and let everyone know by Saturday AM. Want to maximize games for everyone but also don't want to keep e...

Guybo

A HS with 3 teams dropped today (2 days before tournament) so we now have a few spots available if anyone is interested last minute.

Guybo

36 teams. Field set above. Nice round number. Those teams participating should get a final email from us by today or tomorrow with a schedule and more info. If you don't receive one, email me with any questions.

Guybo

Turns out that we have a drop so we are down to 34 teams. We're looking to get up to 36 teams to make the brackets even and doable. Any last minute entries?

Guybo

Field updated today, Sunday, above. At this point, unless we can get to 42 teams, I am going to close all entries. If you do have any last minute aspirations and are not yet entered, email me and I'll see what I can do. If we have any drops, please let us know ASAP as I'd prefer to let any team that...

Guybo

Field updated. About 33 teams. Check updated field for accuracy, please. Ideally, we'd like to get up to 35 teams so that we could have 5 groups of 7 teams and, then, have 6 prelim rounds and a guarantee of at least 1 playoff round for almost everyone. Depends a lot on everyone arriving on time (by ...

Hello fellow Quizbowlers! We are preparing to host the 3rd annual Livingston March Madness NAQT Tournament on Saturday, March 26, 2011. The time has come to start preparing to register! The tournament will run from approximately 8:30 to about 5 PM. Depending on the number of teams entered, the forma...

Guybo

Livingston would like to echo the sentiments of the previous commentors. We would like to send teams but because of the cost and distance for us, we have only gone once. We had a nice time but it was an expensive, long day for us. While your cost is not prohibitively more expensive and is the same a...

Guybo

Not 100% certain, Mr. Powers, but for now, put Livingston down for March 26 as this is the month that usually when we've hosted in the past. Not sure if all of those March tournaments being bunched up in March is a good thing or not so good but we'll keep tht date for now.

Guybo

With all due respect to the Bergen Academies and other strong teams, Livingston has been to the Chatham tournament every year and has had a very good experience each time. It is well run and, most importantly, caters to all levels of competition from the weaker teams to the good but not premier team...

Guybo

Livingston is interested, as I mentioned yesterday. I'll poll students at practice this week.

Guybo

Bergen A beat Livingston A in the semifinals by about 100, 360 or so to 260. Congrats to Hunter- I read for you and you are a VERY strong team and should do well at nationals. Bergen A, for whom I read the semifinals, is also a very good team, and to beat them as handily as you did shows how good yo...

Sounds good, Brother Nigel. I'll put you down on our list. As many buzzers as you can bring would be great. If you know anyone else in local towns who wouldn't mind lending system(s) for the day, too, we'd pay them for the buzzers (as you know from a previous post, we are desperate!). Paramus Cathol...

Guybo

Just to let all know, we are VERY SHORT in terms of the number of buzzers we need to run this tournament properly. From what it seems, we need as many as 8 buzzer systems in order to have enough for Satuday. Any competing team who can scrounge one or more up or even a team not coming who could lend ...

I figured, Mr. Powers, that you probably did not intend to have that sentiment come across, though in reading it again, it does still feel that way. Nevertheless, sorry to go off on the post- I sometimes get fired up about things like this and, to my fault, let the world know how I feel. With so man...
